"I would like to reassure everyone that I’m ok (okay) and I did not face any consequences," he added.
Double World Cross Country champion Jacob Kiplimo survived a big accident scare on Wednesday, as he traveled from Kapchworwa to Kween district.
The 23-year-old athlete was a victim of a wet and slippery road, typical of the mountainous area through which he was traveling.
However, he has since recovered from the scare and resumed his preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
"I’ve read a lot of messages and posts about my accident occurred yesterday heading to my home village," Kiplimo said in Facebook post.
"I would like to reassure everyone that I’m ok (okay) and I did not face any consequences," he added.
